JCLI Japanese Language School

If you already have an N5 Japanese level or you can read Hiragana and Katakana, I totally recommend JCLI, everything during the class is in Japanese and it makes it more interesting to learn. Also most of the classmates don't speak English, so It becomes an excellent opportunity to really practice and learn Japanese every single day.
Enjoy the reception and assistant office workers who are excellent at helping - even in English and Spanish (which really worked well for me.) All the teachers and classmates are really friendly and even if you cannot talk fluently with everybody, they will still help you a lot; same goes for every place in Japan.

Genki Japanese and Culture School

The teachers were very motivated and friendly. I made a lot of progress in learning the language.
The location of the school right in shinjuku is great, it is pretty amazing that it is in one of the busiest districts of Tokyo but it is very calm in the school area because it is located right next to a shrine.

Kindness of the staff, very high level teaching, much time dedicated to conversation.
Large number of Europeans makes it possible to abuse the English language inside the school

JCLI Japanese Language School

I found the teacher's lessons very helpful
In my opinion, even if this school offers it, it is not necessarily suitable for one-month courses. They simply put the students in the three-month courses and assume all prior knowledge. In addition, the language level assessment is not necessarily carried out correctly. This is not a problem for longer stays, but I, for example, was in an N4 course and did repetitions for the whole month. The school did not respond to my personal request. Only when Tanja, my advisor here, approached the school, did I get a reaction. Even then I was asked why I "involved" Tanja and that "if need be" I could go to a higher level course. So of course I stayed in mine to avoid complications. So all-in-all: great teachers, super nice classmates, but organization, especially in regard to the course time, not particularly good.

Genki Japanese and Culture School

Location, teachers, fellow students, general atmosphere
I hoped to improve my speaking skills but found that, at the level I was at, there was a significant focus on reading, writing and grammar with relatively little practice for natural speaking. It therefore, did not really deliver on what I had wanted.

Q&A - Questions and answers about Tokyo

  • After researching the options, I must inform you that the minimum age for regular schools is 16 or 18 years old. Your son is not yet 16 during the course period, so he cannot yet participate in a course here.

    What can be done is, for example, study and live with a teacher at home at two organisations: Study & Live Tokyo or Influent Tokyo.

    Online classes are also possible at Genki.

  • Unfortunately, not all schools offer long-term courses. In Tokyo, I would recommend the Genki School or the ISI Language School. However, you should register early for both schools, as places for long-term courses are very limited.

  • The school Sendagaya in Tokyo offers a University Preparatory Course (minimum 24 weeks). Is this what you are looking for?
    If not, let me know. We can also check if you can follow a general Japanese course and combine it with some private lessons in which you can focus on University Preparation.

  • If I look at the map this seems to be JCLI Japanese Language School.
